So I decided to Pivot. I LOVED the Riverside R101 wheels but missed the contrast I had with the Atara wheels so I decided to sell them. I feel that the wheels would look much better on a darker colored car. I did test fit one on my Z and they looked awesome. I was planning on keeping them but I met a new friend Ronnie that just purchased an OG 510 like the white car I bought. He saw the wheels on my car and had to have them so I sold them 😞 😞 . I was planning on keeping them but by selling them it will enable me to get some Watanabe's....
Ronnie drove his newly acquired 510 over to pick up the wheels so I had to do a mini photo shoot. His car is going to be SO nice. Congrats man!

Once apart I took the lenses to my friend Pavel to polish them using a couple different compounds. The rear of this car is going to be AMAZING!!!

So I have had new trim for the taillights for months but have been super nervous about pulling them apart to replace it. I finally gathered enough courage to dive in and followed WoodworkerB's blog online. I soaked them in super hot water and was slowly able to peel the lens from the backing. Once the lens was off I broke off the old tabs to remove the trim.

Installed the air horns and tightened the manifold bolts from underneath the car. What a pain but got it done. I need to figure out how to keep the plug wires from contacting the throttle linkage.

So last night while my wife was at the gym I was in charge of feeding the kids dinner so I took the liberty to use the dinner table to assemble my carbs!!!!!!!!!!!

Because I have a new hatch coming I had to make sure I got the proper badges for the spoiler (432) I will be installing. The following Nissan badge is not made and is unobtanium. Used ones regularly trade for north of $500 when you can find them and that is with pitting/damage. I am super thankful my car still adorns its original on the hatch but I did not want to risk removing it and using it on the spoiler.
Thankfully a couple of good friends care about the community and made a SUPER limited run of remakes that were preorder only. Hung from vintage dashes commissioned the project and my friend Brian has a machine shop and made the badges. Boy does it look good!!!
